Re the good Abbot NetWallah's observation that your code "doesn't compile" -- spot on and ++ even though his code could still encounter problems with slight variation in the non-conformity of the CSV (discussion below) -- here's why ...and how to fix compilation failure part of the problem:

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; # OP's code from question at #1190163 use Text::CSV; my $csv = Text::CSV->new({ sep_char => ',' }); while (my $line = <DATA>) { # added open curly if ($csv->parse($line)) { (my @fields) = $csv->fields(); # enclosed my @fields in () s +o $csv does not mask earlier print print "$fields[0],"; print "$fields[1],"; print "$fields[2]\n"; } else { warn "Line could not be parsed: $line\n"; } } __DATA__ 0,""Rat Control" <sip:+15559999999@192.168 .5.233>;tag=gK004bb052",9

If what you posted -- complete with strict and warnings -- that your attempt to run your code should have at least hinted at what was wrong. Adding use diagnostics (or perhaps use diagnostics -verbose or filtering your program thru splain would have at least allowed you to post code without errors... something the Monks hold to be an indicator that you're serious about learning rather than merely using us for human debuggers.

As to the underlying problems, attend carefully to Marshall's thorough examination and exposition ... and join him in thanks to Tux for the module.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
